The Deep Waters in Central Fiji creates upwelling deep sea currents, that feed a food chain from the smallest to the biggest creatures. . dives at walls, caves, overhangs and colorful soft and hard coral gardens, all accompanied by schools of pelagic fish such as barracuda, trevally, gray reef sharks, different rays, tuna, turtles and clouds of bright colored tropical reef fish. On calm days, pilot whales are often spotted. The boat stops in you go and snorkel amongst the whales. Often bottlenose dolphins move together with the pilot whales, forming larger groups for protection. There is lots of large marine live in Lomaiviti

Besides diving and snorkeling there is much more to do on Ovalau. Take a stroll along the main road of Levuka and you feel yourself moved back to an other era of time. There are many sites and buildings of historical interest. Or just relax at one of the coffee shops
with a cup of coffee and homemade cakes. The historical buildings are in typical British Colonial style, such as Sacred Heart Church and Navoka Methodist Church both built in the 1860s, the museum and the library, the Town Hall built 1898, St. John`s College, Marist Convent School, and the Ovalau Club. The Cession Site, where the Deed of Cession was signed, Niukaube Hill (the former location of Ratu Seru Cakobau`s court and parliament house), Bishop`s Tomb (where Fiji`s first and second Roman Catholic bishops are entombed), are more places of historical interest.
Location description: Our dive sites:
The Lomaiviti area is visited only by few divers. In fact, most dive sites are so far out that they can only be visited from live aboard dive vessels. We regularly dive a radius of 20 miles which includes the sites at Wakaya and Makogai, Vatu I Cake, Moturiki Passage and Ovalau Reefs . Some of the most exciting places in Fiji.

The Makogai - Wakaya Reef a huge figure eight shaped reef - lagoon about 25 miles long. It got formed about six million years ago as the Fiji Micro plate got kind of wedged under some other
plate, which causes the Fiji Micro plate to turn. Along the resulting crack in the earth crust through an up welling of magma the Islands Moala, Gau, Wakaya, Makogai, Vatu and the sea mount E6 appeared. (About the plates) All those Islands raise from from a seafloor of well over 1000 meters. East of Wakaya- Gau the seafloor falls to over 3000 meters.
Wakaya is a private island and operates The Wakaya Club. Makongi Island is home to a turtle, clam farm and trochus shell farm. Wakaya wall and its passages and Makogai has lots of awesome dive.
